10 IRAQIS KILLED 'IN US BUNGLE'

BUNGLING US forces were accused of killing guards protecting an Iraqi politician yesterday.

National Assembly member Fawaz al-Jarba said the guards opened fire at insurgents who shot at his house in Mosul.

US Apache helicopters joined the battle. Al-Jarba, a Sunni and recent candidate for parliament speaker, said 10 guards died and claimed his home was bombed. He asked: "The terrorists were firing at me. Why did the Americans?"

In further violence, Baghdad Oil Ministry official Ali Hameed was gunned down outside his home.

Also in Baghdad, three gunmen killed a university professor near his house. North of the capital, a roadside bomb killed two policemen in Baquba. A police officer and his father were shot dead in their car in Samarra.
